In comparison, levels in cord blood were 84 ± 58 and 264 ± 176 ng/ml, respectively, and in adult plasma were 410 ± 106 and 818 ± 272 ng/ml. Both IGF-1 and IGF-2 were in the normal foetal range in a further three foetuses with anencephaly and two foetuses with spina bifida. ...
Background: The insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is expressed in normal breast epithelial cells and breast carcinomas. A number of studies have examined the over-expression of IGF-1R in breast cancer with the range of betwe... M Spears,C Cunningham,J Thomas,... - 《Cancer...
Mean IGF-1 index (IGF-1 x upper limit of normal) at screening was 0.63 (0.23). BMI was 27.7 (5.8) kg/m2. IGF-1 index at week 1 was 0.57 [0.16] vs. 0.61 [0.23] at week 4, p=0.271. Insulin levels were lower in week 1 vs. week 4 (7.3 [4.4] vs. 9.7 [6.0]mIU/mL p=...
It controls a wide range of cellular responses. In both normal and cancer cells, it regulates both growth and survival mechanisms through phosphorylating many substrates [38]. The ectopic over-expression of PKB isoforms enhances both cell migration and invasion. In addition, polymorphism of PKB ...
If serum IGF-I is greater than 80 ng/mL, growth rate monitoring is recommended. If growth rate is decreased despite normal IGF-I, GH provocative tests should be obtained to rule out GHD.Arporn SriphrapradangPat MahachoklertwattanaLulin ChoubtumChawalit Preeyasombat...

Growth factors important for normal brain development are low in preterm infants. This study investigated the link between growth factors and preterm brain volumes at term. Material/methods Infants born <28 weeks gestational age (GA) were included. Endogenous levels of insulin-like growth factor (I...
While acknowledging the heterogeneity of leukemic cell types and normal white blood cells, and the variety of sample preparation methods employed, this work sought to demonstrate the efficacy of these techniques in Raman imaging of leukemia and normal blood samples. An investigation was undertaken to ...
The latter function is particularly important for insulin's well-known ability to lower and regulate blood glucose levels within a narrow physiological range during the postprandial phase.32 Figure 1. Insulin/IGF receptor binding. As tyrosine kinase receptors, the IR and the IGF receptors, consist ...
(FGF) signalling. Under these conditions, we derive several pluripotent stem cell lines that express pluripotency-associated genes, retain high viability and a normal karyotype, and can be genetically modified or differentiated into multiple cell lineages. We also identify active phosphoinositide 3-...
